'Kirik Party' Telugu remake to roll from June

Telugu remake of last year's Kannada blockbuster 'Kirik
Party', which will star Nikhil Siddartha, will roll from June, a source
said.

Anil Sunkara's AK Entertainments is bankrolling the project.

'It's not going to be a frame-to-frame remake. Telugu
industry hasn't had a true-blue campus drama since ‘Happy Days', and the
whole team including Nikhil felt it would be the right time to revisit the genre.
This is going to be an adaptation of ‘Kirik Party', with main focus on
college and politics,' a source from the film's unit told IANS.

The script discussion is currently underway. The cast and crew
are yet to be finalised.

'Well-known choreographer-filmmaker Raju Sundaram is most
likely to helm the project. Director Chandoo Mondeti, who had worked with Nikhil
in ‘Karthikeya', has been roped in take care of additional screenplay
and dialogues. The project will go to sets in June,' the source said.

'Kirik Party', directed by Rishab Shetty, follows
the lives of a few mischievous students at an Engineering college.

The film ended up as one of the biggest all-time grossers of
the industry.
